It can be done. But it would obviously depend upon the player being able to adjust to using a light enough touch.
[QUOTE=hunter1801]I've been playing for 13 years, so I'm not too worried about being a beginner, but wonder how hard it would be or how long it would take to get used to one.

I'd say go for it since you seem to be interested enough!
